The GP comment is one of those HN comments where I can't tell if someone is making up a ridiculously high number to tell a story online, or if there really are people out there breaking 52 USB-C plugs per year going about their normal lives.
I mean I don't know how people avoid breaking them. Prying paint cans open, rappelling from height, driving nails into roofs... don't you find them fragile for these daily operations?
